Summary / Abstract:

LTReikšminiai žodžiai: Lithuanian langage; Fundamental frequency (F0); Stress; Syllable accent; Intonation.

ENThis study is focused on analysing whether changes of F0 in the Lithuanian language are influenced by: 1) stress and the type of a syllable accent (acute, circumflex); 2) the type of a sentence (declarative, exclamatory, interrogative); 3) phrase accent (focused word). The research material consists of the recordings of three female Standard Lithuanian speakers. Each of the samples was read 5 times. The analysis of the relation of F0 in a stressed and an unstressed syllable, in an acute and a circumflex, in a focal and non-focal position, in declarative, exclamatory, interrogative sentences allows us to assume that the pitch is an indicator of intonation rather than of a lexical stress and a syllable accent.
